I want it to go away

[Mimi1114]

The physical symptoms of anxiety are killing me...i can’t do anything I can’t focus on school I can’t focus on my hobbies. I worry I won’t be able to live my life normally. Everyday I feel off-balanced and I can barely get out of bed. I am tired and sick of all this. I’m only a teen and it’s drawing me back so much from life 😰

I understand how you are feeling that was me in one point of high school my shoulders were in so much pain I had so many headaches was jittery it interfered with school so I had to have coping mechanisms to ease the symptoms

[Mimi1114 in reply to Hb2003]

I’m so sorry you had to go through that I hope I can find some coping that will work

I got bullied had a impact but I will forget about it now 😄☺️

Thanks for your advice I will look into the pellets.

I'm so sorry you are going through this ... the physical symptoms of anxiety are draining and so exhausting. For me breathing exercises give temporary relief. But when my anxiety interferes with work i take a step back from everything and realign myself then start over.

Remember it is waay worse in your head than it actually is.

Thanks for your reassurance I am trying to utilize the breathing more often

Thank you I have been looking into keeping a journal

That which you want to go away will stay. That which you resist will persist. Agree to live with it and you'll be able to live without it.

Love it, Jeff. Agree to live with it and you’ll be able to live without it...I’m going to use it as a mantra. Thanks.

Thank you Catsamaze, it is another way of describing the Acceptance method of Doctor Claire Weekes which I'm sure you've heard me mention. The actual phrase was first used by BeeVee, a very knowledgeable poster who recovered using Weekes' method many years ago and periodically revisits us here with his inspirational postings.

Mimi,Get online and buy a copy of " Self help for your nerves" by Claire Weekes.

I started getting anxiety symptoms for the first time when I was in my teens, I have no idea how I came across that book then as there certainly wasn't any Internet. But it helped me so much, basically to realise I wasn't alone, it explains everything, all your feelings and physical symptoms.

[Jeff1943]

Thats the book, Mimi, the one Funkiefairie mentions, new or used from Amazon and Ebay. Life changing.

Being a teen, I am so proud of you for coming to this group and joining. Do you know what your triggers are?

Make a circle on a piece of paper. Think about all the things that worry you and cause anxiety. Write the ones you have no control over outside the circle and the ones you truely have control over inside the circle. There are different ways to cope with each.

You have such an important role to play in the future, even if you cannot see it yet.

Hi Mimi. I’m sorry you are suffering with anxiety and I hope you find some comfort from this group. I have suffered so much with anxiety and I finally got on medication that totally takes my pain away from my constant morning anxiety.

I hope you can see a psychiatrist that knows what to prescribe for you because there is no reason to suffer when there is help.

Hi Mimi! So glad you are posting! Being honest about our anxiety is the first step to overcoming it. So proud that you are here and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. For me, journaling, counseling, devotionals, praying, exercise and good nutrition have been the steps which have helped the most. Hope this helps you! Blessings and please keep posting!
